seven miles away, on a dirt airstrip, five more people, including a u.s. congressman and three newsmen, lay dead. murdered by gunmen from the temple. >> all of a sudden i heard pop, pop, pop, pop, and they were coming at us, and they were shooting people. >> never been before, and never since, a member of congress assassinated in the line of duty. he's the first and only one. >> three decades later, the madness of those few hours, the mayhem of mass murder and suicide, still defies comprehension. >> this wasn't some group of zombies who followed a man down to the jungles of guyana and killed themselves. >> i've met people that have said, not me, i would never have been in a situation like that. i always say to them, and it's true, you know what? they were people just like you. same position in society. looked like you. that were there. ♪ we're a happy family yes we are ♪ >> 913 people died there. you know, and for every one of them there was a story. >> when i walked out of jonestown i made a promise to those people that were being murdered there that day

so long as it's worth it for them to try taking off from some god forsaken airstrip somewhere and the airstrips in the world -- they have no radar and no kind of customs or no controls at all. >> it's true. >> if it's worth it for them to try it, they'll try it. >> and you point out, there are a lot of airstrips in the world are god-forsaken. you know it. we know it. let me ask you. this is the 12th plane like this that has been confiscated in brazil. i know you've been doing a lot of digging into this, spending a lot of time with people trying to pull off these sorts of acts. what are the top things that people are trying to smuggle right now? i would imagine weapons and drugs are still near the top. >> yeah. i mean -- well, actually the funny thing is the weapons and drugs are only near the top because they're easy. weapons are easy because there are so many of them. i mean, the number of chinese and russian-made guns and land mines and ammo, it's pretty much all profit. you can pick them up for peanuts. that's the reason weapons are popular. let's face it. there are a lot of indepe

. >>> police in brazil chased down a plane on a dirt airstrip. officers crashed one of the cars into the left wing of the plane trying to stop it from taking off with computers, telephones and printers that were going to be sold along the black market. four men on board the plane were arrested. officials say the same plane has been used for bringing cocaine in from pair gage bow live yeah and columbia for distribution. >>> president obama and other world leaders gathered in france to try to find a way to stabilize the world economy. they thought europe would bail greece out but that's probably not going to happen. after here the anger at the summit, firsthand, greece's prime minister went home to greece abandoned the plan to allow the greek people to vote on the bailout. white house says the bailout plan had built in protechs needed to pre-- protections needed to prevent the collapse. >> the most important aspect is resolve the financial crisis in europe. >> the d-20 leaders -- g-20 leaders will continue the talks in hopes to find a solution to t

just happen and where things get of control but then he had this and to of guys that went to the airstrip it seems like the whole thing was may be an orchestrated but it somehow involved in this island and it kind of revealed this self they kept on tugging away and going on. what happens is people couldn't stop it or something. i'm not sure. >> what is your question mix ackley ? >> you say that he wanted to do that. i wonder if that might not have been true in other words the evens of the day precipitated everything. if he hadn't tried to assassinate jones would have continued another. he was worried he would write the amount in one year a year at a time. we left jonestown with not only the media but also. jones had them rehearsing and if you go to my website you can listen to some of the audio. they had reporters answers to questions. fricks' able towards the end of jonestown all the residents ate with this kind of gravy with vegetables but not enough protein. the people who survived lost 30, 40 pounds. it was crazy how much weight. so, and weak and he had been rehearsing in jonestown. t
